Sukima Switch’s classic “Kanade” gets as high as A#4 toward the latter half, so it may seem difficult, but the first half stays in the low–mid range (D3–A#4), making it a great choice for lower-voiced women as well.

It’s a song almost everyone knows, so it’s definitely one to add to your repertoire! If you’re not used to the chorus range yet, it’s fine to lower the key a bit.

It’s absolutely better to sing in a key that’s comfortable for you than to force the original key, so try finding the key that suits your voice.

The key point is to sing gently.

GoodbyeGAO

GAO – Sayonara [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]
GoodbyeGAO

GAO is a singer with a memorable husky voice and an androgynous presence.

After the 2000s, she made a surprising shift to gangsta rap and even released a full-fledged hip-hop album, and she continues to be active in music under the name GAO today.

Many people probably think of her 1992 smash hit “Sayonara” when they hear her name.

The song has since been covered by many singers and remains a classic of early Heisei-era J-pop that continues to be sung today.

Featuring a very singable melody built on a simple chord progression with restrained leaps in pitch, it’s also a great choice for those aiming for a high karaoke score.

For the high notes in the chorus, be sure to project strongly from your diaphragm so you can deliver them with power.

Ayano Tsuji is a popular singer-songwriter who made her major debut in 1999 with a signature style of gentle, instantly recognizable vocals and ukulele-accompanied performances.

Since the 2000s, she has continued to release a string of heartwarming classics in the J-POP scene, maintaining a unique position.

Tsuji’s music has a soothing quality just by listening, and one of her signature songs, Kaze ni Naru, which was used as the theme song for the Studio Ghibli film The Cat Returns, is widely known and a great pick for karaoke where people of all ages gather.

Its very straightforward melody makes it easy to sing, so it’s perfect for aiming for a high score at karaoke—and singing it together as a parent and child is sure to be fun, too!

Yellow Yellow HappyPoketto Bisuketsu

Pocket Biscuits is a music unit born from the 1990s smash-hit TV show “Ucchan Nanchan no Urinari!!”.

Unusually for a project-based unit, they were active for five years, and at their peak even pulled off a solo concert at Budokan.

Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is “Yellow Yellow Happy.” It has a strong, upbeat melody, but the vocal line itself is simple and repeats similar phrases.

On top of that, the range is relatively narrow, so a woman in her 40s should be able to sing it without any trouble.

Among people in their early 40s, PUFFY can be considered a very popular music duo.

Many of you may have imitated their fashion, too.

Of all PUFFY’s songs, the one I especially recommend is “Ai no Shirushi” (“The Sign of Love”).

Its vocal range is mid2B to hiB, which is low enough that it wouldn’t be unusual even for a male vocalist.

The highest note only appears twice in the chorus, so even those who tend to go off-pitch on high notes should be able to sing it without trouble.

Angela Aki is a female singer-songwriter who is also active as a musical theater composer.

Released in 2025, her song “Pledge” centers on the theme of accepting oneself as they are, and an emotional atmosphere permeates the entire piece.

The song features a lot of low-register passages and a relatively narrow vocal range overall.

While this means you need to sing it with emotional nuance, it is still, fundamentally, a song that’s easy to perform.

#Tokyo LIFEKato Miria

It’s a slightly cool song in an R&B style that’s very typical of Miliyah Kato, with a rap-like section in the second verse.

The vocal range isn’t that high, so it’s a song you can sing smoothly.

As long as you lock into the rhythm, you can perform it really stylishly, so make sure to listen carefully to the backing track and keep time.

If you clap while you sing, it’s easier to figure out where to place the accents.

Especially in the rap section of the second verse, if the backing track and your claps hit strongly in the same spots, those parts naturally become accents and are easier to feel.

Overall, you want to stay relaxed, so move with the groove and have fun.
